'Buchecha' opened up the match with a solid leg kick that almost took out the Belarusian's leg. This proved that Almeida is not just a one-trick pony and does not rely on his superior grappling skills alone.
The Brazilian submission artist fired another strong kick down Grishenko's calf while simultaneously moving around to avoid any strikes from him.
Exactly one minute into the opening round, Almeida shot his first takedown attempt and swiftly transitioned into a heel hook submission, making Grishenko tap quickly and wince in pain.
Before this win over Grishenko, the American Top Team and Evolve MMA-affiliated athlete had already racked up victories against the likes of Anderson 'Braddock' Silva, Kang Ji Won, and Simon Carson.
